For the past year and a half or so, I have been following the rowing adventures of Roz Savage, a remarkable woman from the UK as she has been rowing single-handed first across the Atlantic, then from California to Hawaii, on to Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands, and continuing her Pacific journey to New Guinea. Recently, she set out from Australia to cross the Indian Ocean to India. She has a blog, which I check into daily at http://www.rozsavage.com/ One of her colleagues in Norway does a weekly podcast interview with her that can be found at Roz Roams on i-Tunes, and I listen to their conversation on my morning walks. There are a number of links on her blog that illustrate aspects of her travels, including her departure last week from Fremantle, Australia.
Roz Savage has a terrific personal narrative, a compelling story of what led her to take up oars and tackle the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans alone in a customized rowboat. One of my sons alerted me to her as she began her crossing from California to Hawaii, and I have vicariously followed along on her voyages since then. Her daily accounts of the voyage have become a part of my routine, and I recommend checking out Roz and her amazing travels. This latest element to her crossings is expected to last about four months.
